Cowboys vs Lions Final Injury Report: Kendricks, Parsons, Bland updates are worrisome

The Lions are remarkably healthy coming out of their bye week and Dallas is trending in the wrong direction yet again. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys have a serious problem when it comes to the injury front, specifically on their defense. Already down a ton of talent at the edge position, the attrition has now hit the linebacker room. Not only that, but there are renewed concerns about the health of the secondary, after the week started off on a great foot. Pun intended.

On Friday, the Cowboys ruled out both DE Micah Parsons and LB Eric Kendricks. The club had moved DE DeMarcus Lawrence to IR last week and rookie DE Marshawn Kneeland to IR earlier in the week. Parsons will now have two weeks more to recover from his high-ankle sprain in hopes he’s able to return to face off against the San Francisco 49ers following the bye week.

Meanwhile, DaRon Bland’s activation from IR was put in doubt when he sat out Friday’s practice and was given a game designation of questionable, along with his backup, rookie Caelen Carson, who has missed two straight games with a shoulder injury.

Here’s the full practice report from both teams.
